Thank You for this marvelous gluten free recipe! I can now enjoy hamburgers on a bun and am looking forward to sandwiches once again! Oh how I have missed sandwiches! I make this with Queso Cheese and have made them in various sizes, so far so good. I am thinking about trying to make a "loaf" of this recipe, just to see how it turns out!

YAY!!!!! A recipe I can finally use as a hot dog bun since I'm gluten-free! These are really good. Next time, I'm going to try using a Mexican cheese blend for the cheese and make the buns longer to use as hot dog buns. They have a wonderful cheesy flavor. I had to use milk because I didn't have cream, but they still turned out great.

Wonderful! I just watched the episode and then whipped them up! On the episode, she used no heavy cream (or not that I remember - I was heading to the kitchen). I used mozzarella cheese, as that is all I had. Beautiful and gluten-free.
